Why is Hafer Cookie classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The cookie contains refined oat flakes, added sugars, palm oil, invert sugar syrup and a raising agent (sodium carbonate), all of which are typical of ultra‑processed foods, placing it in NOVA group 4.

How does the sugar and salt content in Hafer Cookie affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 25 g of sugar per 100 g, the cookie can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for strict diabetic control, while its 0.82 g of salt per 100 g is moderate but still contributes to overall sodium intake for people managing hypertension.

Based on the ingredients, is Hafer Cookie suitable for strict diets like vegan, gluten‑free, or keto?

The product is vegan, but it contains wheat flour and oat flakes, so it is not gluten‑free, and its high carbohydrate (62 g) and sugar levels make it incompatible with a keto diet.
